More than 7,000 people have signed an online petition urging Tim Tebow, the Denver Broncos quarterback who has starred in PSAs for Focus on the Family, to join the ?It Gets Better? project on LGBT youth.

"The campaign is reaching people and changing lives," Andy Szekeres, a political fundraiser in Denver who launched the petition, told USA Today. "It would really be an amazing thing for Tebow and the Broncos to do to really say 'We may have differences on abortion and gay marriage, but stopping kids from killing themselves is an issue we can all get behind.'"
